The nLogic team is seeking a BMDS Software Team Product Owner to support a high‑performance Agile software development team building complex, mission‑critical software for large-scale, high‑reliability defense applications. This role blends Product Ownership with hands-on software engineering, with the majority of the workload focused on technical development.
You will define product vision, guide technical execution, lead backlog prioritization, collaborate with engineering teams, and contribute directly to the implementation of advanced algorithms and system capabilities.
The ideal candidate is both a strong technical leader and an experienced software developer who thrives in fast‑paced, collaborative environments.
Key Responsibilities:
Product Ownership and Agile Leadership
Define and maintain the product vision, roadmap, and feature priorities for the software team.
Estimate, plan, and schedule software development work in coordination with engineering leads.
Prioritize and manage the team backlog to align with program objectives.
Track, produce, and present team performance metrics to leadership.
Engage in Agile ceremonies and serve as the primary decision authority for feature intent and prioritization.
Technical Software Engineering
Develop, implement, and test complex software capabilities in Ada, C++, or Java.
Become proficient in Ada development for integration within the core software baseline.
Understand and implement complex algorithms, including mathematics‑ and physics‑based solutions.
Support integration, debugging, and performance assessments of new and existing capabilities.
Contribute to system-level technical discussions, design reviews, and solution development.
Work closely with cross‑functional engineering teams across systems, algorithms, test, and DevSecOps.
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline; advanced degrees considered.
Significant experience developing software in Ada, C++, or Java.
